Krauthammer: World ignores Obama, threats carry no weight

Political commentator Charles Krauthammer offered up a troubling analysis Monday when he said that nations who do not like America no longer respect us because of President Obama’s foreign policy approach, and that “nobody worries or cares about what Obama says because it carries no weight.”

During an appearance on Fox News’ “Special Report,” Krauthammer said: “The fact that people don’t like the United States is not new, what’s new is that these non-likers have no respect for the United States.”

In reference to NSA whistle-blower Eric Snowden, Krauthammer pointed to the president’s failure to “hold people accountable,” despite repeated calls to do just that:

“We heard Jay Carney say, what did he say? ‘This would unquestionably have a negative impact on U.S-Chinese relations.’ Do you think anybody, Beijing cares about that or believes that? Is there any evidence?

“Remember how the president said we’re going to hold accountable those who killed our ambassador in Libya, we’re going to hold accountable the authorities in Syria who have killed so many of their own people? He’s talked a hundred times about holding x or y or z accountable. Nobody’s held accountable and everyone knows that.”

As for Snowden eluding the grasp of U.S. officials, he stated: “If there’s no element of respect or fear, and you saw it in the summit with the head of the United States and head of Russia and China within the last two weeks.”

“They care nothing for what Obama says, and they know that when he makes a threat, it carries no weight behind it.”

A truly sobering comment considering this is the president of the United States of America.

That is false actually, when obama says he'll hold Snowden accountable he means it. He just has to get his hands on him first. When it comes to islamic terrorist, no they wont be held accountable. The only people that this administration will hold accountable is Innocent Freedom Loving Americans. Communist Americans that go along with his agenda will also be given a free pass aswell as those doing his bidding such as the IRS and the NSA.

In his efforts to destroy the United States Obama has destroyed our credibility as a nation. His actions and his executive orders that defy our constitution nullify his position as president of the USA.

Letting him continue to lead us into destruction and into Muslim rule is madness.

Impeach the traitor POTUS

Obama will hold someone accountable, people who pay taxes, people with a decent job, investors, business owners, and any conservatives he can target through whatever puppet organization he's corrupted.

Noah: I agree with you 100%. Also there is a difference in holding a person accountable and "USING" that person to set an example for a fraudulent presidency!

hostile elite vs gul

In these wars of jewish aggression & bankster profiteering, gullible white soldiers are being slaughtered like cattle. this is not left vs right, GOP vs Dems, Socialism vs liberty. This is war against White people.

Why do hostile globalist elite defend Israel as a Jewish ethnostate with Jewish only immigration, but ravage White majority Europe/North America into a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural Gulag with dystopian non-White colonization?

The world is 93% non-White, only 7% White. But 3rd world colonizers, Muslims, Sikhs, Hispanics, are aggressively advancing their agenda to annihilate gullible Whites, just as China annihilates Tibet.
